Hi
I dont seem to be able to reply to personal messages....I am trying to find who my Grandfather's father was .I know he was a Chapman from Seaton Ross and not married to my Grandad's mother ,she was the housekeeper. My grandad was born in roughly 1915 before his father married.
I have so little to go on other than the name Chapman and no first name.
I will have to make the time to go to Seaton Ross and look in the Parish records.

 Hi My greatgrandmother was called Florence Brighton/nee Pickering, had my grandad when working as a housekeeper but then went on to marry Mr Brighton...as being illigitimate was shameful in those days my we never talked about Grandads father,but notice there was a Percival Chapman on the names you give ,but the dates dont add up to him being..my grandad's dad and funnily enough my Grandad was called Percy Pickering and he was born in Seaton Ross around 1915 and died around 20 years ago.

Strange that I have a William Chapman(of Seaton Ross) b 1834 married Ann Brighton b1836, married around 1868/70. Children as follows

Joseph Chapman                          b 1869
James        ..                                 b 1871
William Stubbings    ..                   b 1873
Mark          ..                                 b 1875

Joseph married Emma  ? and had

George   Chapman                      b 1893
Albert E        ..                             b 1894
Teressa        ..                             b 1896
Mary E          ..                             b 1898
Lillian           ..                              b 1900

There is a plaque in the church of Seaton with the names of Seth & Thomas Brighton who were killed in WW1 along with Albert E & George Chapman.

Also found a Robert Fakingham b 1840 living with Robert Chapman family on 1841 census, down as grandchild ??

Now that is strange ..maybe as it was a small village many families married from the village...could Ann have been Florence's relation..I just wish I could work out who was Grandad Percy's father.Do you know if it is possible to view church records ..or do you need to make and appointment.?
thankyou for all you help its very interesting

[zutty drum]

All very confusing this family hitory lark. Don't know about church registers, believe you would have to have appointment sfrom somewhere, unfortunately I have never been able to get there, as following other family trails in the NE and Wales.

I have book of Mon Inscriptions for Everingham, Seaton Ross & Harswell. The only mention of Brightons is the two from WW1  in the church. There are no other family members buried there although there is a George Frederick Brieghton F.R.A. b 1895,died on 21/06/1922 aged 27 ,this is in Everingham church yard.

There is no mention of Pickering family anywhere......

Have also found out that Pocklington, as nearest village which held registers of births,marriages, deaths. There are also Chapmans here in abunance. You may learn more from here thro' Mormon site on BMD'S, who knows.

Will try and find out more........................regards, Colin
